Hello! I’m Dee DiGioia (di JOY uh). Welcome to the YOUniversity!

As a holistic practitioner, my mission is to illuminate pathways to enhanced health and well-being through transformative experiences such as Sound Immersion Journeys, Facilitated Drumming Experiences, Song Circles, and Mindfulness-based Nature Experiences.

Each offering creates a welcoming, inclusive, safe, and sacred space for nurturing and nourishing body, mind, and spirit. My programs promote therapeutic and holistic health benefits across mental, physical, and social dimensions of well-being, with a special focus on stress relief, connection, and cultivating inner harmony and peace.

I am profoundly grateful for the experiences, resources, teachers, masters, and ongoing training that continue to enrich not only my personal practices but also those of others on a journey toward wholeness. By sharing the sacred wisdom and evidence-based practices in my well-being programs, I aim to do my part to help foster communities where mindfulness, kindfulness, and harmony flow freely, nurturing the well-being of all.  (Read more “About Dee DiGioia“)

Fill Your Well of Well-Being at The YOUniversity

Well-being is a skill, and all skills require practice!

Well-being is not just a state of being; it’s a skill that can be cultivated through consistent practice. Just like learning to play a musical instrument or mastering a new language, developing your well-being involves time, dedication, and intentionality.

Navigating and flowing through life in healthy, balanced, and positive ways requires a holistic approach that integrates various practices and teachings. By combining science, psychology, nature, and ancient wisdom, you can build a foundation for strength, resilience, health, and happiness.

The word university originates from the Latin word universitas, meaning “whole” or “entire.” This beautifully reflects the heart of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity (MK YOU). Here, we take a holistic approach to personal growth and self-care.

This holistic approach is crucial in helping you achieve balance and fulfillment in your life. By integrating these practices and principles into daily life, you can learn how to navigate life’s challenges more skillfully and transform your life into harmony with your true nature.

At MK YOU, I guide you in exploring and nurturing every aspect of your being—mind, body, and spirit—empowering you to thrive on your journey through life through mindfulness, kindfulness, and intention.

Mindful Kindful YOUniversity offers diverse and nourishing experiences to support your journey:

Sound Immersion Journeys

Drumming for Wellness Experiences

Song Circles

Mindfulness-based Nature Retreats

Public and private events are offered.

Transformation: The Dragonfly and the YOUniversity

The symbolism of the dragonfly aligns beautifully with the mission of Mindful Kindful YOUniversity. The dragonfly is a powerful symbol of transformation, wisdom, adaptability, resilience, and strength. Its life begins submerged in water as a nymph, navigating obstacles and challenges before it emerges as a luminous and transcendent being. Similarly, through the work we do at the YOUniversity, we shed unskillful patterns of limiting thoughts, behaviors, and habits, growing our own “wings” to embrace a new way of living—one rooted in happiness, health, wisdom, and well-being. This transformative journey reflects our true nature and boundless potential.

In 2017, I felt a calling to step away from the relentless pace of full-time work in special education, founding Mindful Kindful YOUniversity.  LEARN MORE ABOUT Dee DiGioia
